Guys, please don't lie. We know that most people prefer Beauty than intelligence. No both because we know It's rare. I heard it from this mornings radio show. Dumb women are always showered by everything. Can you agree with that? It was so funny to talk about people pretending to answer that they still prefer smart women without beauty than beautiful women without brains. I am not talking in general but let's say it's a bit of majority. Just a funny thought.

I vote for intelligence!As Bacon said:Beauty is like summer fruits,easily rotten,but intelligence lasts long.This may not be the exact way that he said,but close enough to his meaning.Beautiful women certainly strike people with their charming face,but if she has only got a pretty face,her rank on Interesting Lady will sure to fall behind those who are of intelligence and great sense of humour.What's more,a woman will become more attractive because of her wisdom.

AND.. we could easily throw acids or whatever on their face if we want to. And they can't do anything about it because for them, it's the end already. They will only look more stupid.
ofcourse I'm just kidding but the point is already there.

Certainly it is not necessary.I think intelligence is more important because in our society lot of work was done by intelligence and industrialness.Houses were not built by face and new technology was not developed by sexy figure.Nevertheless,beauty is not sin and it is not useless.What I really mean is that beautiful women should not live on their face,they should learn more and be smart. And nowadays beautiful woman of solid skills and brilliance is not rare. Compared with throwing acids to them,throwing books to them would be better.Just my personal opinion~

Dear friend,
Too much intelligent person could fool me very easily. I would prefer someone not much intelligent whom I could control psychologically. Beauty is always accepted but intelligent may be which I opt to below the level of my intelligent.

I'm a woman. So if i want to choose a man between his looks
and intelligent. I prefer intelligent. Sometimes looks could mean
trouble..especially if the guy is attractive. You know what i mean.

I go for the not so intelligent and not so gorgeous man. Men being so intelligent can harm us too. HAHAHA
If the guy is so attractive, yes many girls will go after him and there will be a point that he may take advantage of him.
But you also have to be careful of a guy even if he is not so attractive. They will thought that it's because we know that no other girls will look after them they can also take advantage of that. hahaha too much explanation but I hope you get what I mean.
I'm not saying all guys but there are some cases that are like that.

The relaity check will always be tilted towards looks as guyd do prefer looks.However as a matter of fact noone would like to get marreid to a girl with no brain.So I would say although beauty and brain is very hard to go together yet there is a possibility that guys will go for looks at the first shot.
Personally speaking I will prefer average look but smart and intelligent girl.I am really lucky to get someone like that (of course my wife!!!)So guys you decide what you want a short term gain in terms of bright look or a long term gain in terms of smart head.Choice is yours!!!

This is a question i have already talked about.I think most of guys will choose to response both of beauty and intelligence,but i think actually they do not really do it in their lives,of course i am not mean every body in the social life.Many rich guys with out any high educational experences and just rich by business,they will choose to married a beautiful woman and ignore their intelligence.

That is so correct! This is the answer I have been looking for. Exactly how the dj on the show talks about the topic. How ironic and funny ways on how people react and try to sound good even though it's not really good at all.
And, if the guy is so rich and famous. Oh really, you can get what you want and just ignore the stupidity part for their show offs.

I think both important.I want two of them.But if we have to choose i think i will choose intellgence.Beauty just can stay for ten years or twenty years.But intelligence you can use it whole of your life.I am not pretty enough and intelligence as wee.But i still thank god give these to me.Inside is the most important don't you agree my friend~

well i am not a guy but i see what you mean. i wouldn't think that the guys that were calling the radio were lying because they are on the radio and no one knows who they are so they have no reason to lie.
but!!!!!!!! they might say what they think is right and in the end they really are just want a beautiful girl with no brains to show her off or something.
i have had guy friends that really show that they rather be with a gurl with brains other than beauty. it is a turn off to them to be with a gurl that has nothing to conversate about.
so i guess there is little of everything here in this world.
have a good day

exactly. The DJ is a real meanie but it's just because he is prank. Most callers you can easily tell those lies. He just put down the phone and say "what a liar". I love their morning show so much. Very entertaining.
and about the topic. I agree with that. I mean, what can you get from the physical aspects when you are so dumb and don't have any common sense at all?

Here's the deal with men preferring beauty over brains in women. Back when we were worried more about living to see the dawn than whether we should get the latest cell phone app, men sought out the young, strong, beautiful women to mate with because that would give the offspring the best chance of survival. Now I know it make no sense in today's world but unfortunately, it's sort of programmed into our genes and therefore, men still seek out young, strong, beautiful women even though it no longer serves its original purpose. It doesn't help that the media have brainwashed men into believing that physical beauty is everything.

Hi there buble pink.. Well i think I would choose beauty not intelligence. Intelligence and knowledege can be easily aquired but beauty is not because it is inherited. LOL.. I want to say both but you want an exact answer right? so I prefer beauty but I have some criterias on this matter and it's secret. LOL!! However, I admire those women who are not that good looking but they are very confident to express their self infront of many people because they are intelligent. Beauty is is not in physical apperance but it comes from within.

yes intelligence can be acquired and so as skills or talent. But I don't really agree that a guys would be so serious if they have chosen the physical attractions toward woman and so as woman with men. It really comes from within'. I have noticed comedians or some popular guy who are not so good looking but definitely has a very good sense of humor. They are the ones who got almost all the girls so easy. They are the type of people (men and woman) who can really stand high on their own because they have this ability. I guess it makes a little sense. LOL!

HAHA! That's okay! It's great to be honest this is a free for all community forum and nobody knows you here even if somebody might get angry on your response, you don't really have to care because they don't know you. Thanks for your honest response.

In my opinion I would prefer intelligent women because education lasts and can't be stolen rather than beauty which may not last because as time goes by our physical well being depreciates and what is important also is that people must realize the relevance of being intelligent.

indeed, it really last having a good knowledge. That what the real beauty is. If she can be able to make you happy!

Haha I would say both, but if I had to choose I would choose someone with intelligence. You can only look at someone with beauty for so long, but intelligence makes good conversation, and I could talk forever haha!

the reality is ya for guys looks matter the most...intelligent women threaten their masculinity hence are liked by few guys who are upto bigger challenges.but basically the guys profess themselves to be simple beings hence beauty comes with lesser complications than the intelligent ones.

Brainless women is useless,no matter how beautyful she is but when she don't know how to maintain herself and what is the way live,what is a true love etc.. then she will not be able to share the real pleasure of life.however personally i prefer (more beauty with less intelligence)the formula for the women of my life rather extra ordinary smart women who would do anything for lust and pleasure.!
less smart women are more loving,because they lack meterialism as compare to beautyqueens......

I thought less smart women are more materialistic because they are willing to do anything you asked them to do for pleasure and money. Smart women means not so freaky geek and witchy women. They are the one who knows how to handle money and love with proper knowledge.

ha u'll think i'm lying but i'm not i pick smarts over anything.i know most people just say smarts but they end up with stupid but pretty bimbos if they do that they deserve to be with stupid. only a few of my friends would be considered pretty but the majority of them are very smart. i'm generally considered pretty but i don't want to be because ignorant pretty boys hit on me all the time and the guys i really like are usually afraid to talk to me its kinda depressing :( i think i fell into a good relationship tho because i feel i have a balance of both even if they are in an insane shell but you gotta make a compromise somewhere :)

yes you have a point. It's really hard to find a very good partner right now. Most people nowadays only wanted to play.

I'd rather choose beauty. I go for first impressions besides a smart without beauty lady is kind of a turn off. Men usually feel uncomfortable with smart women not unless they're of the same level. I can't imagine the thought of having a relationship with an ugly woman (excuse me for the word) whose more intelligent that me not unless it's a boss-subordinate relationship, me being the subordinate LOL. Cheers!

I respect your opinion and your choice. But here's the funny thing I noticed everywhere. Men are so choosy in terms of physical features but they don't even got any features at all pysically. They said that we have this high percentage of couple with gorgeous woman together with an ugly guy. Cool right?

Actually I'm married to a very beautiful lady, no kidding! I won her over an american, a south african (caucasian), taiwanese and even my best friends but I fail to realize that she is very intelligent. So now I'm a very good husband because I can't get away with doing some crazy stuff because she is so intelligent that I think she can even read my mind LOL. Cheers!

It depends how stupid and how beautiful. I would choose somewhere in between, I don't
want a very nice women because it can bring trouble lol. and I don't want a woman smarter than me.
You can't choose between beauty or Intelligence they are both crucial qualities. If she's really intelligent and then no looks there is no attraction.
If there is top beauty and no brains the attraction is time limited!

come to think of it. If you are intelligent then you can have a very good life in terms of wealthy and balance in a relationship. For me, I don't care if a man do not have the looks, as long as he has a good sense of humor that's okay. And to think, there are a lot of ways to look good, by dressing up, surgeries, medicine, or just help him improve himself. Any who, physical attractions don't last when you get older. This is why there are many relationships being broken because when the woman gets old, the man looks for younger and beautiful woman. But if you got the smart and very loving wife, what more can you ask for. Just being with her good companion is sure worthy!

i don't like the word forever because we all know that in reality, we cannot have each other forever. I'd rather say friendship or companionship will last long for couples and you wouldn't want beauty and whatever you call it with someone new.

When the couple grow old both of them the beauty fades away for both so they still se each other beautiful..
but if there is no spark at a young age how is it gonna last forever?
